to think that there can't be very main people left in the land who actually like Gary Barlow, and that his stint as an X Factor judge has been a Bad Thing

[Get0rf]

I remember all you lot when X Factor started this year, with your crushes

He is awful isn't he? Come across as really pompous, spiteful and a little bit thick.

No wonder Robbie Williams used to loathe him, if that's how he carried on.

As I said on yesterday's X factor thread, he is like Stan Boardman crossed with all the Borgias.

YANBU - I was never a TT fan, and had nothing personal against the guy, but I now Officially Cannot Stand Him. In fact I don't watch XF UK because I dislike him so much. Fake, horrible, smarmy, looks like he should be selling dodgy watches somewhere ................

Quite enjoying XFUSA however even though the Welsh bloke - Steve - is a dreadful presenter.

Whatever happened to Leon Jackson? And has anyone ever worked out how come he won in the first place?

And as for Gary - I love TT but ffs - GB has all the personality and screen presence of a single cell organism. I'm thinking paramecium here. He's just not got his own X Factor.

He speaks??? I must get deafened by all the butterflies in my tummy when I see him!!

I still like him, though i'd be surprised if he was back next year, I don't think he's enjoyed it much. Anyway he does a lot for ' charideee,' doesn't that earn him any points?

He was probably told to 'be' Simon Cowell - which of course is quite impossible unless you are - errr - Simon Cowell!

I still think he looks like Nookie Bear but nobody else agrees...

I actually dislike X factor - it has been a shambles this year. The auditions were OK, but those 4 haven't got the personality it seems to shine at the live shows.

I like Kelly but bloody hell she sounds as if she is on mescaline half the time. I also am possibly the only person who quite likes Tulisa.

Poor old Louis doesn

Poor old Louise doesn't know what day it is.

At least Simon Cowell is charming.

I never thgouhtt I would think that, but he is charming compared to Bazza.

at louise

I like Simon too, he has charisma.
I actually don't mind Gary, but don't have a crush on him.
I liked Tulisa too, but I think she singlehandedly ruined Misha's chances (along with Louis, who is quite honestly a fool), by making public unfounded allegations.
Misha never recovered from that, and nobody knew the truth of it. Mud sticks.

Tulisa should've been kicked off for bringing up the bullying thing imo even though I LOATHED Misha B - truly shocking and unprofessional!

Louis is juts a bell end.

Kelly - was ok at the beginning until she started with the y'all business and the 'I'm so sick I can barely talk' phone call and now she makes me want to vomit.

Gary is the only decent one there imo!!!!

Not a patch on Simon though - I SOOOOOOOOOOOO would!

Louis needs to be pensioned off to a home for the bewildered... he hasnt been the same since Sharon left..

Tulisa, well.... not exactly got a lot of experience, and her dig at Mischa was completely unprofessional with the alleged bullying incident.

Kelly..... started off ok, but seemed to be off in her own little "you laid it down momma" world, with very little in the way of constructive comments for any of the acts... the fake sickie was just hilarious.

Gary.. the accent is what makes him sound a bit dopey and monotone, but I grew up with that accent too, so I am used to it. I thought he did ok, and he did seem to spend more time than any of the others actually working with his acts.

I see on twitter today though that Marcus isnt well, so that will be the sob story of the week.

I think poor Louis has had his day

they never give him the girls or boys any more so he never stands a chance

Tulisa and Gary both done well, he'll get the girls or groups next year, she'll get the boys

Kelly R, not sure she'll want to come back tbh

American x factor much better

my prediction for next years line up:

Gary - Groups

Tulisa - Girls
Cheryl Cole - Boys

Robbie or Beyonce - Overs

valium - are you my sockpuppet. Agree with every word of your last post.

That's a strange old venn diagram - Tulisa and The Smiths fandom

I like him but I'm not sure if I'm a 'main' person.I like to think so though

Gary not coming back next year

Never been a fan of Gary Barlow or Take Twat and X factor has just proved that I was right in my first impression of "utter knobber" all of those years ago.

Gary Barlow can't speak. It's as if he's constantly reading a malfunctioning autocue. Plus his head is square and made of wood.
